PROF. HoBERT HAY, q. 5. G. 5, says:
In this gas question, as in others,
Kansas is the Central State. The geo
logy of her eastern borders touches that
of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Her west
ern limits include shaIes and sandstones
that ally her to the oil and gas deposits
of Wyoming. Her western counties
may yet find in natural gas native
fuel -

TEXAS is not disposed to let the
drummer have free course. The legis-
lature refuses to repeal the law taxing
him for the privilege of seeking Gus
toners within her vast domain. The
supremecourt of the United States says
it is unconstitutional to require the
drummer to pay tribute for the privil-
eye of selling goods by sample in any
state. But Texas don't care a conti-
mental for this decision, as may be in
ferred from the action of her legisla-
ture

In Buffaol, New York, they sell ma
tural gas at reasonable price. 1t is
piped there and sold at twenty cents a

tween these rates and what Emporians

$3.50 per thousand feet. By all means
let us investigate mother earth as soon
as possible and see if she can not do as
we'll for us as she has for Buffalo.

SUPPOSED MURDER.
The Body Of an Unknown Nan Found
in the Cottonwood River.
His Death was Caused bya Wound
From a Hatehet.
The Corcnsr's Jury Bring In a Yer
dict to the Effect That
No Clue to the Murderers or Cause for
the Supposed Crime,
Other Than the Superstition That He
was Murdered for Money.

Saturday morning as Major and Mrs
Ephraim Brown, who live southwest OF
the city, were coming to town, in cross
ing Bakers ford ON the Cottonwood
river, about five miles from here, they
saw the body of man floating in the
water. They arrived in the city and
informed Coroner Frost of the affair
and he, together with number of per-
sons, left for Bakers ford to hold an
inquest.
Upon investigation it was found that
the man, unknown, had come to his
death by wounds ON the back of his
head made by a Ratchet or some such
sharp instrument, which penetrated
the skull in several places.
The body was lying in the water,
where it had been for at least a week,
in the opinion of the jury. He was
man of about five feet, eight
inches in height, of heavy build, sandy
hair, mustache and gotee, age probab-
ly thirty years or more. He was dress
ed in a good suit of clothing, there was
no jewelry of any kind on his person OF
any papers or other things by which he
could be identified.
Mr. Evans of Hardcastie 81 Kenyon
took care of the body, which was moi
badly decomposed owing to the
length of time it had been in the
water. 1t was brought to this city and
buried in Maplewood cemetry.
No clue has as yet been found to the
perpetrators of the supposed crime.
FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS.
In examining the clothing of the
murdered man small fragment o.
newspaper was found, from reading the
advertisements and portions of articles
it was clearly indicated that it was {
New York paper. There was an adj
vertisement from the Empire State
Flint Good Mandatory, and an arti
Gle headed Trenton Correspondence. ,
There was also attached to the paper /;
portion of direction tag with the let
tiers ''-LYN, E-.'' This is all thu
clue that has been found to the identity
of the man, who evidently halls from
the state of New York.

THE BERGERON CURE.

A New Treatment for Consumption Sue
cessfully Tried I'm New Orleans.
What is known as the compound-gas
treatment for consumption has been
attracting a good deal of attention in
medical circles of late. 1t is the in
vention of French physician, DR..
Bergeron, of Lyons, who claims to
have accomplished remarkable results
through its agency.
The treatment has been expermented
with in this country to some extent re-
Gently, and the results appear to war
rant the good opinion entertained of
the method by the French physicians.
A case has been reported from New
Orleans where the treatment was tried
on lady who was in the last stages of
quick consumption. Two-thirds of the
lung was destroyed, an examination
by the microscope revealed bacilli and
a large amount of lung tissue in the
matter expectorated. The tempera-
ture was from 102 to 104. with night
sweats, no appetite and continual
cough.
The lady's husband, who CHANGED to
be chemist, improvised apparatus for
making the compound of carbonic acid
and sulphuretted hydrogen gases and
for applying them. The effect was at
once perceptible. The cough ceased,
the appetite improved, the chest pain
disappeared in four days and there was
a gain of one pound in weight the first
week, which was increased to three and
half pounds at the end of two weeks.
In half an hour after the administra-
ton of the gas the temperature fell
from 102 to SO. with an absolute craving
for food which seemed to agree perfect
ly with the patient. These favorable
conditions have continued, the patient
steadily gaining in strength and weight
so that there seems to be fair expecta-
ton of complete recovery.
If more general and thorough tests
shall sustain the claims that are made
for this new treatment of consumption
it will prove to be one of the most val
liable discoveries made by medical
science. Chicago Journal.

Correction.

In Fridays BAzoo there appeared
an article from the Kansas City
Times stating that a complaint had
been filed in jackson county, against
the officers of the Kansas City Mutu-
al Accident Insurance Company, for
an alleged violation of the state in.
surance laws.
The story was false and made so
from whole cloth-instigated by the
agent of a rival company. The Times,
yesterday, contradicts the story intoto,
also MIR. Cowherd, the prosecuting
attorney, has written a letter to Mr..
Steele, attorney for the insurance
company, denying the statement.
Messrs. Ofheld, Gentry and Sim
mons are too well known as upright,
business men, to be suspected of vio-
lating the state laws in doing business.
The Mutual Accident Insurance
Company, have rooms in the Nelson
building, Kansas City, and in a few
days will commence business, having
never yet issued a policy, and the
BAzoo commends the new company
to the public as just, eqauitble and
the as surance that it will be conduct
ed in such a way as to merit public
patronage.

No Surprise I'm Sedalia.

1 was surprised the other day to
notice a long editorial in the Sedalia
Democrat indorsing the candidacy of
Col. Lon V. Stephens, of Boonville,
for State Treasurer, and to read in
the same paper of the serious illness of
Mr.. Richard I. Gentry who was then
being prepared for a Colorado trip for
the benefit of his health. fl am not
mistaken, Mr.. Gentry, no more than
a month ago, authorized the use of his
name for State Treasurer, and this
change of front seems to indicate that
Col. Stephens will have the support
of Mr.. Gentry's friends, and that Mr..
Gentry, by reason of his i'll health,
may not be in the race. / confess l
don't understand the cause of this sit
uation.-St. Louis Spectator.
The Democrat is right in giving its
support to Col. Stephens, as that gen.
tleman holds a mortgage on the Dem
ocrat outfit long since due.

have declared the strike off and have

day pay day.
The strike of the shoemakers of
Wooster, Mass, and vicinity ha:

AT no time have as many manu-.
featuring enterprises been projected

more will join the order Immediately.
An immense iron works in Illi-
nois, nearly opposite st. Louis, built
by German syndicate twelve years

The New York silver chasers are
abandoning the Knights of Labor and
returning to work. The company de-
mand a remuneration of allegiance to

Notwithstanding the high per.
lection which the German cotton
spinning industry has reached, a large

On investigation, proved to be not as

Dor refuse to give the strike support.
There are nearly 80 New York
journeymen plumbers receiving strike

goods being thrown out on the road.
The owners of the collieries will ap-

The architectural iron works
throughout the country are receiving
a great deal of business for the sum-
mer and fall delivery. The character
of the work has been greatly improv-
ed. The designing is much finer,
the cost has declined, and these facts
have helped to increase the demand
for such work for a greatly increased
number of uses.
